The miraa (khat) sub-sector is facing a go-slow from exporters protesting at high farm gate prices.
Exporters of the stimulant, mainly to southern Somalia, claim the price of the product has shot up in the past month, plunging them into losses.

Kenya exports more than 30 tonnes of miraa daily to Mogadishu.
